Super insightful post, thanks for sharing. For the modern Omega divers using a sapphire crystal, is it possible for the crystal to be “pushed too far in”? Or the furthest it would go would be flush on the inside lip?
Theoretically, if someone were to keep pressing it in (beyond the resting point of the inner case lip) could the sapphire crystal exert enough pressure to deform the stainless steel lip of the case or would the crystal deform first?
